THESE ISLES: A PEOPLES HISTORY (PB)

Packed with surprising insights, These Isles explores the role of religion, the British Empire, international diasporas and internal migration, gender relations and war in a nuanced and entertaining narrative. With forays into popular culture, sport, music, language, literature and art, the book stretches from 800,000-year-old footprints on a beach to the changing fortunes of the early twenty-first century. It offers a uniquely rich and kaleidoscopic vision of the shared stories of people across Britain and Ireland - past and present.
